Remarks

By default, the pattern '[ \t]+' is used, which matches the ASCII characters 9 (horizontal tab) and 32 (space). This property can be set to any valid regular expression pattern to change the definition of whitespace for this grammar.

To suppress automatic whitespace parsing, set this property to null or an empty string.
